Although IT Managers are open to change, they often find it difficult to modify organizational culture involving individual behavior. For DevOps to be successful, everyone must work together as a cohesive team committed to flexible communication and collaboration.  As part of the GPMS Agile Methodology, visibility and transparency become the foundation for developing communication strategies that support diverse pipelines and processes examining the organization holistically.

In order to provide automation and continuous delivery, traditional project management methodologies are usually not fluid enough to support rapid development and testing. GPMS provides solutions for adjusting the standard top-down approach to a bottom-up approach advocated by DevOps principles. In other words, it is the developers, not the managers, who should be given the control over security, testing, and management of software projects.
